Summary: One Of The Best
Comment: This cookbook is a true gem. The book is small and the content minimal but the recipes themselves never fail. I have tried most of the recipes in this book and the results were stellar! In addition to beautiful photos of France it also has photos of nearly every dish. These are the recipes we most closely associate with standard Franch cooking: Onion Soup au Gratin, Cheese Souffle, and Creme Brulee just to name a few. There are also basic recipes for making Stocks and real homemade French Bread. I have other French cookbooks but this is the one i refer to the most. My favourite recipes are the Lamb Stew with Spring Vegetables and the Veal Chops with Madeira Sauce...Sublime!

Summary: It really IS the BEST!
Comment: I am a cookbook junkie...and own pretty much every award winning, best selling and even local cookbooks I know of... there is probably only a handful of them that I refer to constantly. This book may be small in size and small in content, but I have used almost every recipe in it...How many cookbooks do you have that you can say THAT about??? It has most of the French recipe that I love or were ever interested in...its VERY simple and delicious...I have made half of the dishes listed...and I have been titled the 'cooking diva' from my friends who have tasted what I have made from this book! Its definitely worth getting.... try the Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic....or the Grandmothers Chicken....or the Beef Stew...or the Chocolate Pots...or their creme brulee...OH! just try the whole book! The recipes definitely justify the beautiful photos.
